I just saw it.

When AVATAR was released,people were discussing if motion-capture performances should be elegible for Oscars. I didn't care for that debate, mainly because I didn't see anything special in the performances there. But here, Andy Serkis prooves we need to have a system to rate those performances, because he's excellent.And the directing (which reminded a lot of the SPIDER-MAN and the FX (which were kind of cheesy) were great.

While I had a good time watching this movie, I felt the payoff wasn't completely worth all the leading up. You see, the marketing made it look like the apes were gonna take over the planet, movies) but instead they just run away to the forest. WTF?! Also, I didn't feel that it did justice to the franchise. You see, the original was about how all the major issues in our society would eventually destroy us. But this one focused on one theme only (animal rights), and it mixed it a little with how the X-MEN movies delt with discrimination. And the scene during the credits showed the disease spreading all over the world, and that disease was a result of the lab experiments which were a result of greed and maybe a little pride, but again that wasn't "major".

I give it 6/10.

I don't want it to be nominated for anything.

Such as becoming the NEW GOBLIN,trying to pretend he was sensitive to get a girl while a guy to the same to his cousin,and...well,whatever JAMES DEAN did?But he's not always like that.He chose to deal marihuana only instead of pills.As for f*ck*ng Sean Penn...that's a grey area.

Yeah, James Franco's characters make very poor life decisions.]]> Tue, 30 Aug 2011 20:24:39 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5229&PID=45887#45887 Discussion & Add'l Info / RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES : Members' Discussion of RISE of APES http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5229&PID=45852#45852 Author: Vits

While I don't think it was as bad as you guys think, it definitely had MAJOR plot problems. You could say that James Franco's decision to leave his father at home unsupervised led to EVERY BAD THING IN THE MOVIE....which led to the first movie in 1968, which led to the sequels and the 2001 remake. Nice going, Franco!

Even as someone speaking in the scientific community, I think there is a very legitimate question to be raised about scientific advancements not only for the simple reason that we can do them, but when the ugly spectre of profit without adequate research rears its head. A similar question was raised in Jurassic Park when Malcom noted (and I paraphrase a bit) "You did this because you can do it, but no one ever stopped and asked if you should."

I think Time Magazine kind of missed it on Rise...there was a subtext of animal rights, but I think the more important issue that was raised was really the question of how, where and when we release scientific advancements.

True; the throwback to the old atomic age sci-fi movies and their whole "beware of science" messages.

Time Magazine even listed the social commentary subtext to each movie.

Original Planet of the Apes: Race relations.
Beneath ... Planet of the Apes: Antiwar/anti-nuclear weapons.
Escape ... Planet of the Apes: Women's rights.
Conquest ... Planet of the Apes: Equal rights.
Battle: Culture clash.
Tim Burton's POTA: Nothing, it was just a bad movie.
Rise ... Planet of the Apes: Animal Rights.

What will be the next installment's theme ... we'll know in 2-5 years' time!
